What do you think of this?

The Government Accountability Office (GAO), Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the U.S. Treasury Department have warned that debt levels will increase dramatically relative to historical levels if entitlement programs are not reformed. For example, projected expenditures for Medicare and Social Security programs exceed tax revenues by over $40 trillion over the next 75 years

Yes, it has to be reformed. One, slowing increase the amount of SS tax paid by the worker and the employer. Two , increase the retirement age. People are living longer. Three, they might have to decrease the amount of money peope get monthly.

That would mean that you would have to support comphrensive sex education, not just abstinence only, not saying that you don't, but many don't believe in teaching sex education... Which means that those who have sex anyway have no idea how it works...

I feel bad for those who paid for years into SS, and now we're almost bankrupt because the money has been used elsewhere.

I don't know what the answer is. I think everyone has contributed to the problem.

The only real answer is that taxes will have to go up and spending has to go down.

Women and families having kids they can't afford is a different issue.
